How it feels to read a really good fic and find the author has dozens more like it
Ahhh, thank you for thinking of me/my fics with this post!!!! Haha, yes - that’s one thing I can definitely say about my stuff - whether you think it’s good or crap, there’s *definitely* a shit ton of it (2.2+ million words and growing daily now, in 86 fics + the current WIP as of right now), so if my style happen to resonate with you, you’re very much in luck, haha! Happily (???), I just can’t seem to stfu, so… yeah. Um. I’m going to go and write some more now. Heh. :D

“It’s a fantastically melancholy film. The relationship between Sherlock and Watson is treated beautifully; Sherlock effectively falls in love with him in the film, but it’s so desperately unspoken.”
The film that changed my life: Mark Gatiss
They could have changed that. Never forget that. They could have, and they chose not to. They chose to treat it as a joke and left it desperately unspoken. They left Sherlock and John each wallowing in unrequited love and years of never-corrected misunderstanding. I hate that so much. They could have changed it, and made history in doing so. They could have changed this look in Sherlock’s eyes, and they didn’t.

Self-repost series time! For today’s pick, aka my “hey, want a random suggestion of something of mine to read?”, I’m going with something lighter and shorter than the last one! This is a Lestrade POV story, which is always fun. The disadvantage to writing a POV that’s outside the central relationship (aka Sherlock and John) is that you don’t get to spend as much time inside it. But the fun side is getting to write another character observing it, or - well, trying to, in Greg’s case. Ha! This is just a fun little piece. :) Happy Saturday, or whatever day it is today! I didn’t have to wake up early; therefore it must be Saturday.
Title: Observational Failure, or: Seeing is Believing
Author: SilentAuror
Pairing/POV: Sherlock/John, POV: Lestrade
Length: 8,745 words
Summary: Lestrade is almost sure that Sherlock and John are together now. All the evidence is pointing to it, yet he just can’t seem to wrap his brain around the concept.
Warnings/notes: None whatsoever!
Meanwhile, my current project is now closing in on 12,000 words and even has a title now! :)

Thanks, for the tag, @totallysilvergirl!
are you staying home from work/school?
I’m working from home now, since March 14th. It was a very sudden turn-around at the museum where I work: on Friday morning of March 13th, someone asked at our morning meeting if there was any talk of the museum closing and our big boss said no. The only changes they’d made were that our coat check, run by (elderly) volunteers, was not open that day, and they cancelled a big event for the evening. Nothing else. By the end of my lunchbreak (1-2pm that day), I checked my facebook and saw a post from the museum’s page, shared by another colleague, saying that the museum would be closed indefinitely as of Saturday, March 14th. I was like, “What!” My colleague sitting across the table for me said, “What? What’s ‘what’?” So I turned my phone around to show her and she said, “What! That’s tomorrow!!” Sure enough, when I got back into the galleries, a manager was waiting for me to tell me. It’s crazy. So I’m immersed in a research project from home.
I lost a lot of my voice students when this started, but the few I have left take their lessons via Zoom which, and this is an understatement of tremendous proportions, SUCKS.
if you’re staying home, who’s there [without] you?
I’m all alone here. I’m a loner by habit, but at the end of my sixth week in isolation, I can definitely say that I miss other humans.
are you a homebody?
I feel like it’s weird to say that I am, when I so rarely am home in my “normal” life, but - yes, I am! I’m definitely liking getting to spend so much time in my own little apartment. :)
what movies have you watched recently? what shows are you watching?
I watch the late night folk (Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee, sometimes Jimmy Kimmel) - it’s the only way I can tolerate getting the news, through a filter of sanity and comedy. I’ve also been watching season 3 of The Crown, only ten years late.
an event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled?
All the stuff that goes with Easter - big music for big services (still shedding a tear for Buxtehude’s glorious Membra Jesu Nostri, which I would have been solo-ing in!), family dinners. I’m pre-mourning going to the beach this summer, as I imagine they’ll still be closed. I don’t have the kind of money to travel anywhere or buy expensive tickets for things. It’s the little daily life things I miss: going to restaurants and movies, occasional trips to the one fancy spa in the city (I *live* for thermal therapy!), being able to work out at the gym in my building, swim at public pools. See people I know and love, in person. Zoom/facetime/etc really have their limits.
what are you doing for self-care?
Keeping to a routine. Still working out and fasting per my regular schedule, waking up for work at the same time every day (I have to text my boss to “clock in/out” every day), making a plan for my work projects and sticking to them, going for daily walks (alone, trapped in the downtown area of my city), cooking and eating well on eating days, still doing the other things I was doing for self-care before this started, aka finding time for writing and taking epsom salt baths. I’m now also relearning tai chi and as of tonight when my bestie drops it off, I’m actually going to teach myself a bit of basic violin!
Tagging: anyone who wants to do this. :)
